We do however have an idea of an end-game weapon to enable quicker travelling to destinations but this is a long way down the line.



I'm not trying to advocate travelling around as a means of keeping players online, but this is always going to be expected to a certain extent in what is a world, if something is taking a long period of time to reach then yes it is potentially a problem, otherwise a line has to be drawn somewhere.
I've counted the time it takes to go from level 14 (the main hangout outside the bank) to Master Li's house at roughly 30 seconds, obviously people will have varying ideas of what is reasonable but 30 seconds is significantly less time than what the actual content can be expected to take.
These are just easily implementable ideas that you don't have to use. Obviously the server is perfect and no player should give you input about it. Even if they do you should defend everything to the death. Door was right.....
